She was the emperor’s favorite concubine and Tang would do anything to please his ladylove.Yang's favorite fruit was lychee. At the time, this fruit was not available at the capital where they lived. The emperor would therefore send his men all the way to South China to fetch the fruit for his beloved mistress. Lychee thus became a symbol of the emperor’s love for Yang.Lychee fruits, till date, are held in high regard in China. In fact, many varieties of lychees are named after wealthy and influential Chinese families.The health and beauty benefits of the lychee fruit are aplenty.In Chinese medicine, these fruits are sometimes used to treat abdominal pain, coughs, neuralgia and swollen glands. A tea made from the peels helps alleviate diarrhea and is also said to cure skin rashes.Lychee also helps in haircare. As the fruit is a rich source of Vitamin C, regular consumption of lychees helps ensure adequate supply of blood to the hair follicles. This increases hair strength and prevents breakage and split-ends.中国古代男子都以鲜花追求佳人，有位帝王却另辟蹊径。相传唐玄宗与绝代佳人杨贵妃相爱至深。这位盛宠不衰的妃子，让帝王甘愿倾尽所有博她欢心。贵妃尤嗜荔枝，然此珍果当时长安遍寻不得。玄宗遂命人千里飞骑，自岭南将鲜荔驰送爱妃。自此，荔枝便成了这段旷世之恋的见证。至今荔枝仍被国人奉为珍品。诸多荔枝品种皆以名门望族命名，足见其尊贵。荔枝的养生美容功效更是不胜枚举。中医里，此果可缓解腹痛、咳嗽、神经痛与淋巴肿痛。以荔枝壳煎茶，既可止泻，亦传可治皮疹。荔枝还有护发功效。因富含维生素C，常食荔枝能促进毛囊供血，增强发丝韧性，断裂分叉自此无踪。📝重点词汇与表达woo /wuː/ v. 追求；向……求爱legend has it that... 传说……concubine /ˈkɑːŋkjubaɪn/ n. 妾；情妇lychee /ˈliːtʃi/ n. 荔枝all the way 一直到底，一路上fetch /fetʃ/ v.（去）拿来 hold in regard 尊重，尊敬be named after... 以……命名aplenty /əˈplenti/ adj. 丰富的；大量的abdominal /æbˈdɑːmɪnl/ adj. 腹部的neuralgia /nʊˈrældʒə/ n. 神经痛 gland /ɡlænd/ n. 腺alleviate /əˈliːvieɪt/ v. 减轻，缓和 diarrhea /ˌdaɪəˈriːə/ n. 腹泻rash /ræʃ/ n. 皮疹，疹子follicle /ˈfɑːlɪkl/ n. 小囊split-end /ˌsplɪt ˈend/ n. 分叉的发梢主播：周邦琴Albert●没有名牌大学背景，没有英语专业背景●没有国外留学经历，没有英语生活环境●22岁成为500强公司全球员工英文讲师●24岁自学成为同声传译●25岁为瑞士联邦总统翻译前往小宇宙评论区与主播互动
